LOGINSaskia's POV"Have you forgotten who I am?" he asked. "Have you forgotten that I have men watching you?"My eyes narrowed at him.He chuckled. "And not just you. I have people watching every single one of our family."At first, I was surprised at the extent he went. But I realised that I shouldn't. Afterall, he was Grayson. He trusted nobody and hated everyone in his family and pack. And apparently he spied on everyone too.I lifted my hand dismissively. "Fine. I'm just going to do what I came to do here and leave.I won't cause any more problems for you."I turned around, leaving. The conversation was pointless. Grayson hated me and I didn’t like him either. Nothing good would come from either of us standing there any longer.I had barely taken two steps when his voice stopped me. "The rogues won't be able to kill her."I turned back to look at him. "What did you say?"A faint smirk tugged at his lips. "You heard me.""Why would you say she can't be killed?""Why are you asking me th
Saskia's POVPain wrapped around me like chains as darkness swallowed everything. Yet even in death, my mind refused to rest.Memories flooded the front of my mind one after another. And among them all, one memory filled me with fear. Not for myself. But for Bran and Serafine. For what they were going to face in their pack.Two nights ago, I covered my nose as one of the guards escorted me down the narrow corridor lined with iron-barred cells.The prisoners remained silent as I passed. Some stared. Others threw their faces away, avoiding eye contact with me. At the very end of the corridor sat the person I had come to see. Grayson.The guard unlocked the final gate and stepped aside. I walked forward slowly as I almost didn't recognize him. His dark hair had grown wildly past his shoulders. A thick beard covered most of his face. His clothes were dirty. The stench coming from him was terrible. Like he hadn't washed since being thrown in prison.He sat against the wall with one knee r
Alpha Bran's POVThe silver knife trembled in my hand as I held it up.If this was what she truly wanted. If my existence only brought her pain...Then maybe letting her go without the pain of rejection was the last thing I could give her.I shut my eyes as the cold edge of the knife touched my throat. "BRAN!" Serafine roared and I froze. Not because I wanted to stop. But because I couldn't move anymore.My eyes widened at my hand and knife that remained suspended in the air. An invisible force wrapped around my wrist, holding it in place and preventing me from slitting my own throat.I looked up at Serafine. Her crimson eyes glowed brightly under the moonlight, power pulsed around her."Stop!" Tears streamed down her face. "Stop it!"The knife slipped from my fingers. And Serafine ran toward me. She snatched it from the air and threw it as far as she could.Then she dropped to her knees before me, hitting my chest hard. "What is wrong with you?!"Her voice cracked as more tears pour
Alpha Bran’s POV I continued before she could interrupt. "I didn’t stop there. I made sure to expose every evil he did while on sit. But regarding your family… Elder Larkin and the others collided against me and covered it up again. My power then was nothing compared to their combined force. There was nothing else I could do then.” Silence stretched between us. The wind whispered through the trees. I looked into her eyes. "Have you ever wondered why there isn't an Alpha King anymore?" She didn't answer. I continued anyway. "That position no longer exists because of me." Tears rolled down my face. "I dissolved it. I made sure no single wolf would ever have that much power again." My voice cracked. "I made sure nobody could do to another family what happened to yours." I took another step toward her. "Everything changed because of what happened back then. Because of your family." Serafine stared at me. And for a brief second I thought I saw hesitation. But then more tears
Alpha Bran's POV"Serafine!" My voice cracked as I reached her.The sight before me nearly brought me to my knees. She was tied to an altar while the moonlight bathed her pale skin. Her auburn hair was tangled around her shoulders. Tears stained her face.And surrounding her were corpses. An innumerable number of dead wolves littered the clearing. The smell of blood hung heavily in the air.I rushed to the altar and ripped off the ropes holding her wrists and ankles. The moment the last rope fell away, I wrapped my arms around her and lifted her into my embrace.Relief flooded my heart seeing that she was alive. I was scared that I didn't make it on time to save her. After leaving Aric behind to fight those wolves. More of them intercepted me on my way to Serafine and I had to deal with them for hours alone. "Serafine..." My voice broke, I held her tighter.and allowed myself to believe everything would be okay from now on.Then she shoved me away. The force caught me off guard and
Serafine’s POV Her golden eyes were fixed on me as she stepped closer. I didn't understand how it was happening but I could feel the connection between us. She wasn't just any wolf. She was Amaris. My wolf.She stopped in front of me.Tears filled my eyes again as my hands slowly reached out and touched her fur. Warmth exploded through my hand.She lowered her head and rested it against my palm.A gentle voice echoed inside my mind. ‘I will help you. You are not alone.’I gasped.It was the first time someone was speaking in my head. I didn't need anyone to tell me who it was Fresh tears rolled down my cheeks as she drew closer.‘You never were alone. I was with you all the time. They were with you.”” she added, looking around.Warmth spread through my soul. The emptiness inside me began to crack. The wolf lifted her head. ‘We need to go back now.’I stared into her golden eyes. The pain inside me dulled.The wolf's tail swished gently and I rose to my feet. Then turned toward the
Alpha Bran’s POVI slammed the office door harder than necessary. My chest wouldn’t settle. Not after what I’d done.Punishing Serafine for refusing to go to work should have brought me satisfaction. This time it didn't. Ryker paced endlessly beneath my skin. He was restless and angry. ‘You hurt
Serafine's POV Grayson’s words wouldn’t stop echoing in my head.I paced to and fro in my room, rubbing my palms and blowing air on them every second. Anxiety clawed in my chest. Grayson might have meant something else when he said those words to me. But in my head, it meant a clue to run. To esca

Serafine's POV I looked down at my trembling hands as I stayed curled behind my bed, drawing my knees to my chest. The lock clicked and the door opened.My heart pounded. Eyes bulged as Alpha Bran stormed in, wearing only pants.Sweat glistened on his skin, rolling down his hard chest and disappea
